The 2020 season was a roller coaster ride for the bullpen of the Pittsburgh Pirates. One player who seemed to emerge in the Pirate bullpen in 2002 was righyt Geoff Hartlieb. However, his season may not have been as strong as it appeared to be on the surface.
Hartlieb made his MLB debut in 2019 and struggled to the tune of a 9.00 ERA, 5.56 FIP and a 5.11 DRA. In 35 innings pitched across 29 games, Hartlieb allowed eight home runs (2.06 HR/9), while walking 10.5% of batters faced and striking out batters at a 22.
